20th Century Studios has premiered the final trailer for “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere,” the biopic about New Jersey-born rock and roll singer Bruce Springsteen that hits cinemas next Friday.
“The Bear” star Jeremy Allen White plays the iconic blue-collar American musician who first broke through in the mid-1970s and defined a generation with hit songs across the 1980s and 1990s, including “Born to Run,” “Hungry Heart,” “Dancing in the Dark,” “Born in the USA,” and “Glory Days”.
Filmmaker Scott Cooper (“Crazy Heart,” “Black Mass”) pens and directs the film, which chronicles the making of Springsteen’s fifth album, 1982’s “Nebraska”.
It was at this point, Springsteen had early success and was on the verge of global superstardom. But he also had ghosts in his past – specifically a rocky relationship with his alcoholic WW2 veteran father who represented toxic masculinity.
The album, recorded on a 4-track recorder in Springsteen’s New Jersey bedroom, marked a pivotal time in his life and is considered one of his most artistically strong works.
Also starring are Jeremy Strong as Springsteen’s long-time manager Jon Landau, Paul Walter Hauser as guitar tech Mike Batlan, Stephen Graham as Springsteen’s father, Gaby Hoffman as Springsteen’s mother, Odessa Young as his love interest Faye, Marc Maron as Chuck Plotkin and David Krumholtz as Columbia Records executive Al Teller.
Cooper adapts the script from the book of the same name by Warren Zanes. “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere” opens in cinemas on October 24th.
